A lurker's view

John's suggestion makes sense to me. Some additions about the purposes of this forum might be helpful.

My perception/expectation is that this forum is about sharing individual ideas and experimentation with audio equipment, software and room acoustics that might add to one's enjoyment of their audio hobby.

It does not matter whether discussed tweaks produce any objective, demonstrable, or quantifiable effect, or whether just the process of trying them might add to one's enjoyment. This forum is simply about individual experimentation for fun and enjoyment, so long as they are done with due consideration of life safety. It is assumed many tweaks will be technical dead ends. Wonderful if some can also advance scientific knowledge, but that isn't a primary purpose here.

Since no one has to prove the reality or basis for any tweaks, that may lead to situations like "putting 3-inch purple smiley face stickers on the bottoms of my speakers dramatically tightened up the bass, but yellow stickers made the highs harsh" but so what? This is not a forum of scientific inquiry. If a tweaks seems riduculous to you, don't feel compelled to try them or respond to the post. If the moderators feel an individual habitually posts loony (in the moderators view) ideas that won't advance the purposes of the forum, ban them.

The same goes for posts that question the reality or basis for a tweak. If those types of posts don't add to enjoyment of the hobby, don't respond. If the moderators think an individual habitually makes the posts and they aren't adding to the purposes here, ban them.
